This program has changed our life. Matt is much more relaxed and happy. We have seen a huge difference in his impulsivity- rather than acting before thinking- he now considers and weighs the consequences. He has made real friends.

“I brought my son in for a program when we were at our wits end. He was yelling, arguing, biting, broke a window and basically turning our family upside-down. Meltdowns were happening every time we wanted to do something or go somewhere. We took the program 6 months ago. Stacey, our facilitator, never once brought up any of these behaviors specifically, but instead focused on what things ‘could’ be like. I noticed right away that he was calmer and less aggressive; however, not in my wildest dreams did I expect what we got… it has been half a year and there has not been one meltdown or outburst! Of course, he doesn’t agree to everything, but we now have a way of getting to the root, making the needed change and moving forward. He is going new places, trying new things, taking on chores without being asked, is willing to give up his iPad to do things, and is getting himself up and ready for school without a fight. Such a huge difference and all without force or negativity! I never thought this could be possible. I always ‘loved’ my son, but now I can ‘enjoy’ him every day. Thank you!!!”

Our guy is 13 and in gr 8.
We just did the course with amazing results! He is more calm/focused, willing and able to communicate with us. Teachers have noticed a huge difference too!

Years of anger, tears, hitting, screaming, fear and hiding…
Our family has been through overwhelming turmoil.
Now, I feel like we have a new family. Words to describe our house that have NEVER been used before…
Orderly, peaceful, calm.

Ryan has told me over and over again, “Larry and Stacey just get me mom, they know how I think!”
He feels that the biggest help has been the ability to change chaos into order… in his environment, in his thoughts and in his emotions. In his words… “it makes everything better.”

I find that my daughter’s social interactions have improved enormously. She interacts with her friends and acquaintances in a way that is more socially acceptable.

I like being able to go back to the imaginary world that comes with my autism, but now, I get to choose when I go there. I love that this didn’t change me… It added to me.

The biggest surprise about this program is how much it helps the whole family- not just our child on the spectrum.
Our whole life has become more orderly, calmer, kinder and closer.
Solving problems has become logical instead of emotional, and because of that, my autistic daughter willingly participates as we work together to find a solution.
I think everyone, autistic or not, can benefit immensely from this work!

Life has changed in so many ways. I am not scared to try new things. Things make sense. I am meeting new people and I even traveled across Canada with friends! Awesome!

My two favourite concepts were probably ORDER and DISORDER and how my life and the physical space in which I live is taking on order. This alone has been so helpful. However my brain works, it never learned before, how to keep order in a space. I feel so wonderful when I see order in my life.

Understanding these concepts better has made a difference in our lives at home, and for Mark, most definitely at school. To have some new skills and understanding of all the concepts brings more peace and calm. We have had many breakthroughs. Homework time is spent more efficiently and not in breakdowns! We are learning how to interact and communicate better as a family. The program was an amazing gift for both Mark and I.

Part of the gift of my autism is the ability to come up with new and creative ideas.
Prior to the course I would plan, procrastinate, get frustrated, quit and go into a slump.
Taking this course, as an adult, gave me the ability to plan, create and follow through… things I couldn’t do before.
Also, people make more sense now… Thanks
